Can anyone help me out as well?
I'm geting the illegal start error when starting the loop (while) in the following code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Targiln5 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
double a, b;
System.out.println("Please enter the equivalnce of a and b");
a = input.nextDouble();
b = input.nextDouble();
double root = bisection (a, b);
System.out.println("The root is" + root);
}
public static double f(double x) {
return x*x*x -x -1;
}
public static double bisection (double a, double b){
double m;
while (Math.abs (f(b) - f(a)))=> 1.0 e - 5){
m = (a + b)/2;
if (f(m)<0){
a = m;
} else {
b = m;
}
}
return m;
}
}
